So, a few months ago I decided to go outside and smash all my old phones into a million pieces just for fun and since they didn’t work. I put them in a bag in my closet because I don’t have an easy way to dispose them correctly. Well, my 9 year old brother tells me that he thinks it’s killing me because of “liquid mercury” and stuff in the screens. Just asking here if that’s actually the case.
The devices are a Samsung Galaxy J3, a Samsung Galaxy A5, a Samsung Galaxy S6, and an iPod Classic.
Thanks in advance!
Mercury hasn’t been used in really anything since thermometers. When I was 9, a lot of thermometers around still used Mercury, and even I knew that phones didn’t use Mercury. Mercury altogether was outlawed for most purposes in 2008. The kid certainly wasn’t born during a time when it was in anything
Nice, dude. When I was 9, I was shocked to learn the teenage mutant ninja turtles were in fact, mutated turtles.
Don’t take a childs intelligence seriously. There aren’t many demographics that are more gullible and prone to misunderstandings than 9 year olds. The next would be an 8 year old.
If you want to get political, I can think of a pretty big demographic that’s the most gullible. Hint: their favorite day is January 6th
